Apple's $29 iPod shuffle Dock

iPod shuffle dock

Wait a second, wasn't the whole point of the iPod shuffle that you can plug it directly into your computer, no extra cables or dock needed? (Yeah, we know there are few people with older Macs who can't actually wedge the iPod shuffle into any of their computer's USB ports, but a five dollar USB extension cable solves that problem.) Anyway, Steve Jobs promised a $29 dock for the iPod shuffle during his keynote last month, but now that it's actually here it just seems like overkill to spend $29 on a dock for a $99 MP3 player.
